A New Tale Of What The Future Holds

Chapter 10: Carmin's First Catch!

"A week after Blight City, in a forest"

Nash, and his Pokémon train. Carmin brushes Fennekins tail, Buck makes lunch

Nash: Okay you four, we'll be in Coumarine City is six days, so we gotta train hard.

The Pokémon, Riolu and Marshtomp glare

Nash: Would you two just get along.

They look at Nash

Nash: Beedrill, you'll be battling in this Gym.

Beedrill: Drill!

Nash: Let's get you some more speed. Fly as fast as you can in the forest! Avoid the trees!

Beedrill speeds into the forest and kicks up a cloud of dust behind it

Carmin: Fast Bug Types. Just when I thought they couldn't be any worse.

Buck: Carmin, get over this fear of Bug Types.

Carmin: Shut up.

Nash: Marshtomp, you'll be sitting out for this battle. You won't be very useful against a Grass Type Gym.

Marshtomp looks down and Quilladin pats its back

Nash: We don't know how many Pokémon I'll be allowed to use for this battle. So Riolu and Quilladin, you'll be training hard to play it safe.

Riolu and Quilladin nod

Nash: Riolu, Bullet Punch on a tree! Quilladin use Roll Out on a different tree!

Riolu and Quilladin go to separate trees and attack them

Marshtomp: Tomp.

Nash: It's okay Marshtomp, you'll battle in the next Gym.

Marshtomp throws a Water Pulse at a tree and knocks it down. Marshtomp grabs its Pokéball from Nash's pocket and goes inside it, the Pokéball hits the dirt

Carmin: Maybe you should give Marshtomp something to do. It's not really fair to leave it out.

Buck: Yeah.

Nash: Guess you're right.

Nash picks the Pokéball up and lets Marshtomp out

Marshtomp: Mar?

Nash: You really want to train that bad?

Marshtomp: Tomp!

Nash: Go and chase after Beedrill. We'll be working on your speed today too.

Marshtomp smiles and runs to where Beedrill flew off

Carmin: So what exactly are you going to do?

Nash: I'm gonna go in the forest and catch the first Pokémon I see!

Carmin: No way! I want to catch a Pokémon! You and Buck have more then me! It's not fair.

Nash: Okay. Then let's go together. Buck, do you mind watching my Pokémon?

Buck: Yeah, sure thing.

Nash, Carmin and her Fennekin walk into the forest

"With Beedrill"

Beedrill flies in place at an apple tree and eats one, Marshtomp sits against the same tree with multiple apple cores at its sides, a wide smile on its face. A Pancham jumps out from a bush and gets to the tree, it turns back to the bush with a smile, scrapes on its body. Marshtomp and Beedrill look at Pancham

Marshtomp: Marsh.

Beedrill: Drill. Drill.

A Zangoose jumps out from the bush and smirks ag Pancham
